1) I live on the east coast of Australia. That's why my posts are always in the middle of the night for you. It's spring now which is gorgeous.
2) I met my husband at university and we dated for 7 years before locking it in. We've been married for 8 years now. Thankfully I get along really well with his family, and vice versa.
3) I have reached the age wherey Spotify playlists are all throw backs to my younger days. I got so excited when Blink 182 released their new album. I'm still holding out for Oasis to get back together (now that's optimism for you!). And Eminem will always be my Rap God.

From Australia or just living overseas? How awesome! I've always wanted to go there.

I met my husband in high school, but we didn't start dating until the summer after we graduated. We've been together for 13 years, married 7 this October.
I live in the Midwest, but I lived in Texas growing up. My Texas accent comes out occasionally and cracks MH up.
We have two dogs. Buffy is our 4 year old golden retriever. Ozzie is our 2.5 year old pitbull.

Yes I'm from Australia, lived in this region my whole life. It's so far for you to visit but really worth it. Heaps of beaches, sporting events, good food, great climate.
I hope you and your family were ok during the hurricane x

H and I have been together for 10 years, married for 5. We are both special education teachers, and today is our first day back at work for the new school year.
We have an almost 6 year old Golden, who's nickname is Budders (hence the SN).
Today is my 33rd birthday. 😬

Hi. I've been married for six years. I've lived in several places, but have lived in Indiana the longest. I have a beagle and 2 boys (one is a foster who will probably be here until closer to Christmas).

H & I celebrate our 8th wedding anniversary tomorrow. We've been together for 14 years in October.
Other than our oldest, we've gotten a puppy and started to plan a trip to Disney both times we've gotten pregnant subsequently. With our second, we got a puppy in March '14 and the date we were planning on coming home from Disney turned out to be her due date. This time, we brought our pup home in June and our plan was to go for my 30th birthday at the end of June, when this tiny nugget will be a little less than 2 months.
I used to write. I've journaled and wrote short stories. Eventually, I moved to blogging and had dreams of writing a book. Sometime in between #1 and #2, I lost the... drive? IDK. My brain is just really tired and writing anything of substance is tough now.
Those are really lame aren't they?

tinyjoys I think the dog/Disney connection is adorable. For me, every time we offer to host Thanksgiving, I've found out I was pregnant a week later. I told my husband we aren't allowed to host anymore.

Hey Everyone!
My husband and I have been together about 12 years, married 5.
Like several of you, we are a two dog household (if my profile picture didn't give that away).
I'm from a few different places - spent my younger childhood in Washington State, then moved to Wisconsin, and now I've lived in the DC region for the last 5+ years. But we're moving this weekend to Baltimore b/c DH took a job in Delaware and I plan to keep my job in the DC region.
P.S. bonus fact - love that there are other Disney nerds on here! DH and I are in the Disney Vacation Club and go every year.

I may be the most boring ever but three things about me...
I've been with my husband "officially" since our senior year but we dated all throughout high school. I've known him since elementary school and we've been married almost 8 years.
I'm also a 2 dog family!
I basically live for vacations. I love Maui And love Disney like many of you! I'm hoping to go back to Disneyland in January or February.

My mom called me yesterday and asked if I was pregnant. I said no and she said she had very vivid dream I was and I should test. This morning I tested and she was right! So. I guess my mom is a witch.
I've been with my husband since I was 16. We've been married almost 5 years. We have one 3 year old daughter.

I am also a huge Blink 182 and Eminem fan! We saw Blink in vegas in one of their last shows with Tom. They play in vegas I think next weekend and I'm so bummed we aren't going! My husband is in a wedding that weekend 😩

Glad they're touring, hope you get to see them some time.

1 - I live in Northern California and I have my whole life. 2 - My H and I have been married for 7 years but together for 10. 3 - In addition to our 2yo daughter, we also have a 8yo yellow lab named Tank. He's pretty much the best.

Oh man... I have two cats and haven't been to Disney since 3rd grade! I have no idea why, it's not an aversion to Disney. We just havent gotten there yet.
I guess my third piece of trivia is that I like to downhill ski, although I guess I will have to wait this season out.

budders Isn't May supposed to be the prime time for teachers to be due? I thought there was something about not having to take maternity leave until school starts in the fall?

Not in my area, but perhaps in some? My school year goes until the end of June (we just started last week), so I'll actually use all 6 weeks of my paid sick leave before the year is even over. It's definitely still prime time, though, especially where I am, because it gives you the most time off without interrupting the school year since you're out at the end. This was our ideal scenario, because I'll get 4 months at home (with the summer included), and then I'll be able to start the year with renewed sick time that I will inevitably burn through with two kids in germy daycare.
